October is a busy month for business leaders and entrepreneurs, with a wide variety of holidays and observances to celebrate. From World Smile Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day, there are plenty of opportunities to take a break from work and connect with your team or community.
Here are a few special notes and fun facts about two or three of the holidays:
World Smile Day (first Friday in October) is a day to celebrate the power of a smile. It's a great opportunity to show your appreciation for your employees or customers with a kind word or gesture.
Indigenous Peoples' Day (second Monday in October) is a day to recognize and celebrate the cultures and contributions of Native Americans and Alaska Natives. It's a time to learn about their history and traditions, and to reflect on the importance of diversity and inclusion.
World Egg Day (second Friday in October) is a day to celebrate the egg, a nutritious and versatile food. It's a great opportunity to educate your employees about the benefits of eggs, or to host a healthy breakfast or lunch.
